I've seen a few posts suggesting using a frame slider to protect the panniers. The preferred placement mentioned in the posts was the mounting point for the pillion foot pegs. I've purchased a set of "step holder" assemblies - the bolt on frame members that hold the foot pegs. (LKQ MotorSports is parting out a 2010 NT #174) My intention is to mount sliders to them and see how the holders hold up.
I'd like to solicit opinions for the length that the slider should extend beyond the rear peg mounting bosses (left and right). What will it take to adequately protect the panniers without fulcruming the bike at the winglet and causing more damage up front?
If anyone has an idea for the design of the mount, I'd sure appreciate a drawing, especially if it leaves a place for the pillion's feet.
